Unfortunately the same time we are slowly adding more and more ifdef else
code that adds new blockers to compile in multiple ARM platforms into
the same kernel. Some of the ones I've ran into over past few months are
CONFIG_HAS_TLS_REG, CONFIG_VFPv3 and CONFIG_SMP. The first two are
fixable though.

Anyways, once we get the TLS and VFPv3 issues sorted out, we
can do ARMv6 and ARMv7 booting binaries so I'll be able to whine
about any new blockers getting added :)

Regards,

Tony
